As one of the most classic love stories is being retold on celluloid, Imtiaz Ali‘s close friend, Anurag Kashyap hosted the first preview of the film. The creative minds of the industry made their presence felt at this ‘directors special preview’ and the response from these filmmakers has been overwhelming and stupendously encouraging for our debutants, Avinash Tiwary and Tripti Dimri and director, Sajid Ali.

Impressed by the film, Rajkumar Hirani said, “Both the new comers were fantastic and it didn’t feel like it is their debut performances. Romance runs in Imtiaz Ali’s family, and we can feel that in Sajid’s way of directing a love saga like this one. I wish them all the best”
